Adamawa APC Candidate Galadima Welcomes 21 LG Chairmen

Ahmed Galadima, the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Adamawa State, welcomed the defection of 21 local government chairmen and 226 councillors from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC. In a statement issued on Thursday by his media aide, Adamu Sambo, Galadima described this development as a significant boost to the party's grassroots presence ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He stated that the defectors' decision reflected their understanding of the evolving political situation in the state and congratulated them for demonstrating political foresight and commitment to the state's development. Galadima also commended Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri for his inclusive leadership and ability to bridge political divides, attributing the APC's growing appeal in the state to the governor's political engagements.

He linked the defections to President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, asserting that this movement of political leaders and grassroots structures to the APC could strengthen the party's position ahead of the upcoming elections.
